The rise in fentanyl-related deaths among young people, as highlighted by federal data, underscores the urgent need for greater awareness and education about the dangers of opioids. Janet Hehl's story is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of fentanyl on families across the nation. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, synthetic opioids like fentanyl accounted for 88% of opioid-related deaths in 2021. This is a concerning trend that requires immediate attention and action.
